Wednesday Night Knitting met in the wake of Bob and Grayzie’s battle on the living room carpet, which left tufts of white hair flying around and sticking to everything, especially Grayzie’s mouth. Apparently they were “just playing” because no blood was shed and no blood-curdling moans and hisses were uttered.
It was great to see Debbie and Tricia and Kelly again! We missed Ethel, as she flew west to be with family members for her sister’s funeral. We missed Lois, and continue to miss Tina (but thanks for the Facebook pic of giant knitting needles!)
Kelly was working on an adorable Lorax hat (check out this one!)
Tricia was making a scarf in the same pattern and yarn as her dish cloth from a while back…
I was working on what was supposed to be a little vest, but it’s so wrong. The problem is, I have a really hard time doing seed stitch; as you may be able to tell, it is a rib stitch, the opposite of a seed stitch. I was going to continue working it but Deb’s comments were sort of a wake-up call and I realize it will be a poor substitute for what I wanted it to be, so maybe it will be a doll blanket instead! I really despise working with this Sensations boucle yarn anyway. It isn’t soft, although it looks soft. Go figure!
I got this sample in the mail of Lizbeth 3 and 20 sizes of tatting yarn.
I believe I found it on Facebook or Twitter but then I was unable to pull it up again or find it anywhere on my computer. It came from Handy Hands. The closest promotion I could find, in retrospect, for Lizbeth was on this page, for a thread holder with a sample ball included.
Deb worked on the blanket some more, and it is as beautiful as ever. Soft and gleaming!
We had fun hearing of her travels to Rhode Island, Boston, and Canada. Sounds like a great getaway!
